What is specialty flex?

Specialty flex prints differ from normal flex prints due to the special visual effects in the printing foils.

Glitter and Glitz

Designs printed with these foils glisten and reflect light. The glitz foil is a very fine mix of the foil color's spectrum from darker to very shiny particles. It shines and glistens intensely, especially as light catches it at different angles. The glitter foil has a mixture of the main color and a touch of silver glitter - this gives the main color a contrasting and intense glitter effect, with less glistening as glitz.

Glow-in-the-dark, Reflective and Camo

In addition to the glitter and sparkle foils, we also offer a glow-in-the-dark foil, a silver reflective foil and a camo foil.

Longevity and durability

Designs with specialty flex prints retain their vibrant color and glisten even after many washes.
